Does SAT have any advantages over ST12?


I use ST12 in my daily work, but could I benefit from learning SAT too?

Does it provide anything useful, that cannot be found in ST12?


Solution

  • SAT can show memory usage, for everything else ST12 is better

    ST12 has many advantages:

    • it shows the program flow better, with "Bottom up call hierarchy"
    • it shows the children of a module better with "Top-down call tree"
    • it provides better details of SQL statements
    • it even links the STAD records

    SAT has one advantage:

    • it can show you where the memory usage has huge jumps
